To think it’s cringe to brag about how late you stayed out?

[whiteteegoldhoops]

(Disregarding teens)

I’ve come into work today and colleague has straight away told me how she went out at 5pm and didn’t get home until 8am.

Erm … ok. She has a very show off type personality so I’m unsure if I was suppose to be impressed by this.

Wow you sound really unpleasant

We should celebrate and be 'proud as punch' of having a vibrant life, doing vibrant things, doing things that are different for us from time to time, having the energy of the young is a good thing (not something I have anymore)

Wtaf? I'm nearly 60 and can still party till daylight on fresh air! Just because you can't .....

Not to sound like your colleague but oh I miss those days. The Mondays I went to work on no sleep😱 Every weekend out then party back at mine! Great memories!

I’m going out this Sat & I’ve been sure to let them know, then remind them, then tell them again… that I can only be out in the day & I wa t to be home for 8🤣

It's better than being mean for no reason 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'd be quite interested in that tbh. I'd want to know where she'd been, was it good, what sort of people were there, what the music was like, how tired she was feeling. Call me boring but in my world if someone stayed out all night on a Monday it would definitely count as conversation worthy.

Does it impact her work? Any suspicions reasonably that drugs are taken? Does your colleague drive to and from your place of work? Then it should be of concern to you as a safety issue.

If none of these apply, then ignore this infantile bragging.

Sorry op, I barely stay awake after 10. Id be bragging about that for years!!!!

It’s more cringe to start a thread about something that annoys you and then turn on anyone who dares to disagree with you

If I managed to pull an all nighter nowadays I’d be telling people about it too!
It’s obvious you don’t like her, and anything she says annoys you. That’s fine, we don’t all have to like everyone. No need to slag her off on a forum though, just smile and nod (or don’t).

It's also cringe to be a rude fucker on online forums, but there you go 🤷‍♀️

I'm surprised she talks to you at all if you're this rude in person.

Oh my gosh you’re so scathing! Why?! What’s the need? I’ve armchair diagnosed you as having Takethyourselftooseriouslyopathy.

Go drink your coco op, hopefully you'll wake up a nicer person

I cant see how its bragging at all.

You sound like a narky toddler. Are you okay Hun.?

This is what we on Earth call a conversation OP. It's when two people say things back and forth to each other. Sometimes they laugh. It's generally quite enjoyable.

I used to be able to do this. Now it would take me a week to recover. I wouldn’t think it was cringey, I would just be jealous.

You've not made much of a case for it being cringe. You can disapprove of it, sure, but there's nothing intrinsically cringe about it. Perhaps you feel like she's always showing off because you're a sneery sort who doesn't like to have much fun and prefer whinging and putting people down:

If I stayed out until 8am everyone would know about it, even snide people at work who would then post a rude comment about me on an internet forum.

Your response to a poster is way more cringe than someone who likes to go out and have a good time.

I wouldn't tell people unless it was relevant to the conversation, particularly with work colleagues, but I'm nearly 40 and can happily stay out til the early hours dancing when the mood strikes.
I have a friend who is older than me who occasionally pulls an all nighter.
It sounds like light hearted chat, no need to take it so seriously.

Non drinkers complaining about drinkers talking about their nights out and pub crawls are extremely boring.

Same. I’m still living off a night out in Feb 2023 when we went out for dinner but then went clubbing and I didn’t leave the club until 3am, then we walked home so I didn’t get in til 4am, and then I had two slice of toast and a pint of water. It must have been nearly 5am before we went to bed. Wild. It was light! I’ve not done that in at least a decade 😂

She sounds fun. I'd be looking for an invite to her next all nighter.
